It was hard to make it without anyone noticing, you know?
Cooperation?
No, first of all, I owe you an apology.
I wanted to bring you here because I wanted to talk to you in private. .......
It's been difficult.
I thought about it a lot, but your mother seemed to like you a lot, and I thought it would be less uncomfortable for people if I told them that I was in love with a girl and was trying to get her into my room. Thanks to that, I guess you didn't like me, but it was the only natural way I could think of.
To be honest, I think I was quite forceful in asking you out. ...... I'm really sorry.
"............ Yes. If you wanted to invite me to your room, it would have had the opposite effect.
Yeah.
I was aware of the misstep from the beginning, but I couldn't just stop. I was hoping that you would notice my signs, but I think I gave too few ...... hints.
I was hoping that you would notice my sign, but I think I gave you too few hints.
It seems that your purpose for coming here was different.
...... I'm really sorry about that.
I'm sorry that I made you feel so uncomfortable, even though I was acting.
I'm sorry, I could have done better.
"............ acting?
So everything you've done so far has been a lie? ......?
Don't you ever doubt that?
...... Originally, I thought it was a strange story.
It makes sense to me.
...... So. What's the story?
Are you going to listen to me?
I don't necessarily believe everything I read on .......
Yeah, sure, that's fine.
You can decide whether you believe me or not after you hear the whole story.
After all, it's really hard to believe, isn't it?
Even I can't believe it. ...... I don't even want to believe it.
The prince looked down as if he was thinking about something.
...... I'm sorry, but we don't have much time.
Please be brief.
"Oh, yes, of course.
After all, I only have one thing to ask of you.
I need you to help me kill your mother.
──── Oh, that's okay.
I'll take the blame for everything, of course.
He smiled his usual carefree smile and announced that he was going to kill his relatives as if it was nothing, and for a moment I was speechless.
"...... you, Your Eminence?
I asked him back, but he didn't answer. ──── He ripped a large carpet from the floor of the room, and a magic circle of shifting blue light appeared.
This leads to the underground Labyrinth of Sorrows.
